Last year I dedicated my Thanksgiving week 10 Things post to being thankful. So this year I carry on that tradition. I have not made any effort to hide how rough 2013 has been for me, yet I think I have more to be thankful for this year than ever before. "It's always darkest before the dawn"
10 things...I'm thankful for:
1. This year I found my faith. For the first time in my adult life, I have a relationship with the Lord. We talk all the time now.
2. My health. [ especially thankful for Prilosec, Lexapro, Align, Dr.Parrish.]
3. My Mother. The woman that stood by me when I was at my lowest. The woman who held me the day my "life fell apart" The woman who sat in the waiting room for two hours at the doctor's just so I would have support waiting there for me. The woman who never gave up on me. The woman who now cheers me on once again.
4. My Father. The man who walked me through buying my first house [and climbed into my ceiling to fix my AC unit]. The man who still sneaks off with my car, fills it up with gas, and acts surprised when I turn it on and see that F. The man who made me the Steeler loving, curse word saying, beer drinking, hard working, sweat pant wearing person I am today.
5. My job. "It's going to be okay and it's going to be better" This was how it was suppose to go.
6. My friends. Their happiness and support. Their care packages and cards. Their love.
7. My sweet rooftop house. And my parents for letting me "shack" with them for a year so I could have Kress 308 and for constantly surprising me with mini heaters, bulletin boards, flowers, and little presents for my [now] home.
8. Only 3 more years till we are NObama for-ev-er.
9. My [little] brother. He keeps me humble. He makes me laugh. He loves me a lot [even when I yell at him].Our car rides together, laughing. Being his Sissi,
10. Happiness. Good lord, HOW many times have I blogged about this topic? So go ahead, ask me. "Are you happy?"
I've never been better.
